Testimonials
Dave did an impeccable job on the videos for the University of Colorado. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and provided helpful (needed!) advice for us novices. He was efficient during filming and able to adapt to each individual provider’s needs, easing them into the filming process. When you work with Dave, you’re working with a professional who doesn’t just do this for the compensation. He is truly invested in the projects he helps with and will work with you to ensure the final product is exactly what you want or need it to be. We highly recommend working with Dave for your video needs!
